Jellyfin server startup issues - xyncro - 2024-07-13

I have a problem with Jellyfin server on Windows 11 after upgrading from v10.8.12 to now v10.9.7

On v10.8.12 the server started automatically, and that was neat..
But now after upgrade server wont start unless i do it manually from the start menu.

I checked som thread here and saw someone having similar problem..
It was adviced to go to C:\user\username\AppData\Local and there find a file named migration.xml and delete it..
But.. when i check that i dont seem to have that migration.xml on that location.. infact i dont have Jellyfin installed there at all..

My Jellyfin is installed through C:\program... and C:\programdata...
I found migration.xml in C:\programdata and checked to see if anything got beter by disabling that file.. but no, nothing happen, Jellyfin wont start..

However, in C:\program\jellyfin\server\jellyfin-windows-tray\ i noticed a 'Jellyfin.Windows.Tray.exe.Config' file.. should that file be tempered with so that server starts automatically when windows starts/restarts..?

Im looking at C:\andUsers\lukew\AppData\Local\JellyfinC

After you've started jellyfin, right click the tray app and see if "Autostart is checked".

Thx for your answer TheDreadPirate and help..

At first Jellyfin didn't start after upgrading.. so i went out here on the forum to check similar problems.. and followed those instructions with the migration.xml file.. at that time it was not possible to go to the tray app and activate/start manually.. Start Jellyfin was kind of locked..

But after rolling back to that original migraion.xml file i got things to work..
Maybe there was a glitch or something disturbing the startup for the first time after upgrade..

I have however another issue with Jellyfin, if its a server issue i dont know..
And this problem occured even on the older version 10.8.12 i had installed..
And now with this verion 10.9.7 is too..

I close my computer from time to time..
When i start the computer the tray app have started, and started up Jellyfin..
I can open up the interface on my Chrome.. all good so far..
But.. i can't activate DLNA.. its impossible.. i usually click on the DLNA symbol to activate function so that i can use my phone with my TV..
DLNA wont work no matter how i do..
Unless i restart my computer.. then its ok to click on that DLNA symbol in upper right corner and choose tv, so i can start the movie on my tv through my android phone..

Did i miss setting some things up in controlpanel or doing something wrong when i want to start DLNA.. without necessary restart my computer every time..

Thx..
